A soggy decrepit ghost visits Hazel. And with her new ghostly admirer comes a new case and a new hidden danger.

Lola is wanted for the murder of Royce Habernath, a pirate treasure hunter whom she has fought with many times over a treasure map. In their search for the truth, Hazel, Syn and Blossom struggle with the realization, Lola is the mistress of secrets and killing someone is definitely within her wheelhouse. But when it becomes clear that Lola was framed it becomes a race to find the real murderer before Lola is sent to a prison most don’t return from. At least not whole.

If that wasn’t bad enough, Hazel may have a hidden power a queen is searching for. Whether Hazel truly has it or not the Blood Queen and her minions now know she is on Crystal Lake. And if they find Hazel, her death is certain.

Lola is one of the most interesting characters in the Moon Investigation series. Often side characters are just that: ones on the side, but Miss Batiste puts a great deal of effort into making all of hers intriguing. Unsurprisingly, Lola didn’t become a bad ass on a whim. She was forged in fire and pain with pirate ancestors who became embroiled in more than what they bargained for.

I was hoping to finish this today, but if wishes were fishes, there’d be more in the sea. Maybe tomorrow. Then I can look up notes on it to see how good my interpretation of Shakespearean English is. I actually read this at lunch to take a brain break :p

What I Bought

Piczle Colors – $12.00 @ Nintendo eShop: Will discuss below.

What I’m Playing

Title: Piczle ColorsSeries Title: PiczleSystem: Nintendo Switch

Date Started: January 31, 2019

I am obsessed with this game. The only reason I’m not playing it right now is because I’m doing this, and my Switch is dead with the charger in the other room. I do agree with some of the critiques presented by Mr. Panda in his video review. Some of the colors are way too close in hue, and while I understand they did it to add depth to the harder finished pictures, it can cause some unnecessary errors and confusion. Other than that, the game is ridiculously addictive. I’ll tell myself, “One more puzzle,” complete it, and start the next one. I’m going to be sad when I finish, but apparently there’s a randomizer you can use to still get some enjoyment out of the game once you’ve finished all of them. I also may be the first person to review it on Grouvee since there’s not even a rating there yet o.O

I’m thinking of splitting this chapter into two now that the first edit is done. I’m not quite sure yet because the theme of the title runs throughout so it’s making it a bit tricky. I can see two distinctive patterns in it though, and I think it would flow better if it was broken up. I have only a few notes to either add and/or figure out where else they can go, and I think I’ll make the splitting decision when and where I figure out the best place to do so. Either you’ll have a really long chapter to enjoy or two regular sized ones.

Top 10 Books/Series

You can read this for free through the link. It’s honestly the best I could hope for from a sequel to such an epic work. It continues the themes without being trite and the resolution is beautiful if bittersweet.

I’m recording the progress a little different since I have no way of easily telling how far along I am in the play percentage-wise. I’m reading it from a compendium of all the Bard’s works so it’s only giving me the percentage of the entire thing I’ve finished.

I’m still working my way through this extensive chapter, but I’m nearing the end. I may end up splitting it after I finish the first edit, depending on if there’s a natural place to do so; however, I’ll still post all of it at once. It’ll just be two chapters at a time instead of my typical one.
